We are the Crickmore family. We have been farming the land at Fen Farm for three generations and we believe we have rediscovered something that many have forgotten. That the very best food in the world is the simplest, straight from nature to your plate. Our herd of happy Montbeliarde and Friesian cows graze the beautiful marshlands of the Waveney River Valley in Suffolk and we are carefully makin

g their delicious raw milk into the finest cheese. We hope you love it as much as we do! We’d love to hear from you, or better still see you, so please pop in if you are passing by. Take time to stroll around Bungay in the stunning Waveney Valley and while you’re here, you can also try some of our delicious unpasteurised milk. We hope to see you soon!

A bitter sweet gathering 💛

Last week we gathered on the hill opposite the farm to say thank you and farewell to three wonderful team members - Jake, Iona and Dorcas.

All have been an integral part of the team - but all are heading off to exciting pastures new, for their next challenge.

Good luck Jake, Iona and Dorcas - we’ll miss you!

Who remembers mum’s 58stone pumpkin from last year that made the BBC News ?!

The largest grown in East Anglia, dwarfing farmer Jonny’s 🙃

Anyhow, mum’s 2026 efforts are shaping up nicely. Well done Frances Crickmore👌

Meet Summer the Pumpkin. Just 33 days old and measuring 6ft4 x 5ft8.

Grown on the farm. Raw milk bottle for scale🥛

I wonder how Jonny’s compares?

A little snippet of us milking our beautiful Montbéliarde girls.

They don’t give very much milk, but the milk they do give is protein rich, flavoursome and perfect for cheesemaking.

Pop by the farm at 4.30am (!) or 3pm-ish to see them queuing up for the milking parlour. The heart of our team.

(Featuring Herdswomen and Herdsman Billy tucked in the background👌👌)

More Punch in the making ✨

Thank you for the all the love and feedback so far on our new seasonal cheese.

A lovely quote from the wonderful Karen S Burns…

“I managed to grab a couple of Punch cheeses last week, and our verdict is they are FABULOUS! It’s an unctuous, washed-rind cheese with a sticky russet rind, soft with a punchy kick, and flavours of salt, sweet hay and toffee coming through.”

More stock coming online tomorrow (19th August).
